Every so often one'll find flags in various forms in American magazines: music mags, women's mags, photo mags, fashion mags, and political mags. Americans love it. In these mags, there are also abnormal frequency of the word America or American: American Fashion, Sex in America, America's sweetheart; while hardly ever other country or contitent's name. For the average American, America = the world, and that's how Americans like it, and the capitalistic consummeristic America sells by it.
